I froze to death, while the ship stopped in port. [And - perhaps understandably - she doesn't look too happy about it.

She's not in the infirmary anymore though. She'd stayed until the residual cold was bearable, and had waited until she felt completely back to normal before trying to address the Barge and ask the questions she's been sitting on since she wound up in the infirmary.]

How often does that happen? Why didn't anyone tell me that could happen?

[She's trying to hold it together, present herself as the calm, cool and collected future queen she's been trying to be for the last three years, but people can probably see the cracks in her veneer because this is all just... beyond crazy.]

[Private to Arthas]

You tried to save me. [She remembers that much, even though parts of the end are a little blurry.

And she wants to know why. :|]

You froze?

[She should have been a better hunter. Which is not a nice thought, but Abigail's eyes are bright with it anyway.]

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

[She feels like an idiot, it's cool Abigail.]

No. But it's not really yours either.

[It kind of is. But it mostly isn't.]

Are you warm enough now? Sometimes things in those places, um. They last.

[bothfoulandfair]

I'm fine. I've left the infirmary.

But if you need anything--

[She pauses. Sighs.]

I'm not . . . normally like that.

[This is 40% a lie.]

That's good to know. [There's some small amount of humor in her voice, because she hadn't necessarily expected that she was, but. It's still probably for the best.]
